- Printing
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- The graphical data displayed in each box can be printed on a
- PostScript based laser printer. The procedure for doing so follows:
-
- (1) Open up the print window by selecting the entry {Print} from the phase space menu or by selecting the button {Print} from the
- main panel.
-
- (2) Determine a print option (Postscript file or Raster image) from
- the cycle item {Print Option:}. When dumping a raster image, be
- careful not to disrupt the region of the screen image being
- dumped.
-
- (3) Determine which data will be printed by selecting an appropriate
- entry from the cycle item {Region:} on the print window.
-
- (4) Select the button {Print} in the print window.
-
- In the raster printing mode, the raster file from "screendump" is
- processed and converted into a Postscript file by "psraster", whose
- ouput is piped to the laser printer by the standard UNIX printer
- filter "lpr".
-
- In the graph printing mode, the output of "kgraph" is in the UNIX
- plot file format. It is piped to the laser printer by the standard
- UNIX printer filter "lpr -g". The hard copy output contains a header
- with many system parameters.
-
- In the PostScript printing mode, the output of "kgraph", which is a
- modification of the UNIX command "graph" for 2-d graphics, is
- converted to a PostScript file by "psplot," which is then sent to
- the PostScript laser printer by "lpr." Note that the box and labels
- are also neatly processed in the publication quality mode.
